Good, cause it took me three months and lots of searching, scouring and haggling at flea markets, bizarres, yard sales and trash to find those Antlers and that damn Buffalo!

OK the table and chairs in picture 2 are fab-u-lous.  The chairs in the bottom picture are marvelous!

Allow me to reiterate: THIS ROOM HAD 15 animal heads, at least 5 animal rugs, giant mutant bugs and horns laying around!!! Hell if it was a ski lodge it wouldn't look so bad becaues I at least would have expected it. This room was just possessed.

 

I didn't know that was your place MTS, looks great. How tall are your ceilings in the first pic? That must be at least 15 ft. Is that the brownstone?

 

 

Oh MTS, surely a man of your stature doesn't resort to such barbarianism.  :roll:

All I can tell you is Chuck's house was way scarier than any of these pictures. :)

Oh MTS, surely a man of your stature doesn't resort to such barbarianism.  :roll:

 

I think he did pretty d@mn good for being a dumpster diver muahahaha

P.S I'm surely not one to talk about interior design. Off campus housing--nuff said.

Women, Want a Healthy Marriage? Marry Man Uglier Than You, Study Says

 

Monday , March 24, 2008

The best marriages are those where women marry men who are less attractive than themselves, research has found.

 

Psychologists who studied newlyweds found men who were better-looking than their wives were more likely to be unhappy and have negative feelings about their marriage.

^Bring on the beautiful and rich ladies.  :lol: :lol:

One of Dad's friends, a handsome man, said he married a homely woman so he wouldn't have to worry about other guys trying to steal her.

 

'Twas true; she was homely, but she was a gem, smart, well-educated, sense of humor and a good cook on top of it all. They had a good thing going; I think they made their sixtieth anniversary before he passed away, and they were some of my favorites among Dad's friends when I was a kid.

Hopefully out of earshot of his wife.

Right now, at this very moment, I am eating a Snickers Creme Sports Egg..............and drinking a Coke Zero.

Spring/sumer must be around the corner because I am getting into my Reggae/Dub moods.  :-)

 

Do NOT trust anyone else who has power over you. Assume the worst and assume people are absolutely incompetent and that it is YOUR duty to ensure a proper outcome! This is especially a problem with bureacracy.

 

Two events involving a grade in one of my classes:

 

1.) I didn't recieve credit for an in class assignment that I turned in.

2.) Like I mentioned before, I got into a car accident. I was on my way to a mandatory research participation thing and missed it as I was waiting for my car to get towed. I went to the department, the research assistant was unavailable. I finally found someone chatting away with her girlfriend on the phone who ignored me while I stared into her eyes awkwardly until she acknowledged my presence and helped me a minute later. I wrote down a note for the research assistant and told the woman in the dept. to give it to her. It explained that I was in an accident, unable to attend, and I gave her my phone number in case she needed proof of the accident. She sent me an email saying my grade wouldnt be penalized for not showing up (which I believe is a fair judgement). She also said the penalty had already been taken off.

 

*My professor did not add points for the assignment after I resolved the issue with her and she said she would change it.

 

*The research assistant did not take off the grade penalty even though she sent me an email saying that it had already been taken off.

 

The result is a grade C changed to a B, which is a significant difference and I did not get an apology from neither of them for their apathy/laziness/incompetence.

 

The world is full of vultures and it is YOUR duty to make sure they don't eat you alive. Murphy's Law is NO JOKE.

Spring/sumer must be around the corner because I am getting into my Reggae/Dub moods.  :-)

 

I love Reggae! Pass the dutchie from the left hand side...

lord what is it with you white people and reggae?

No, white people made an attempt at Reggae. It's called Ska and it sounds like absolute sh!t.

Wait, wait, wait... Ska?? Please don't bash the ska. haha Listen to the Robbin' the Hood album by Sublime. That might give you a good idea of how ska and reggae can blend so well.

 

Oh and I know I am late on this but I just bought Youth by Matisyahu today and I am absolutely amazed. I'm definitely buying the Live at Stubb's album soon!!!

Already have. I listen to 311 and a little bit of Sublime but it stops there!

 

P.S. Last time I saw a white dude with dreads I called him sideshow bob; it didnt go over well.

Hahahaha

 

I absolutely LOVE 311 and Sublime is just.. Sublime haha. I like all of that.

But now since the weather is getting warmer, the slower and more relaxed dub and reggae soon will start playing in the car.

311 - Love song is the type of music you play when you bring females back to your room.

haha.. there are about 3 different covers of that song actually.

311, Anberlin, and American Idol's Blake Lewis. Lewis's was actually a cover of 311's cover.. hmm cover of a cover?  Please let us not forget the original by the Cure. :-)

 

I personally love the song Amber by 311.

311 is great, I love that band too. Amber is a great song. I like their newer stuff a lot more than the old style. I'll go to their concert if they come to Cinci soon. I definitely wasn't impressed by their cover of D'yer Mak'er but I wouldn't expect them to out-do Zeppelin. I still think it's funny when people literally pronounce the song as "dyer maker" when it's old english and should be pronounced like "Ja-maica" which makes sense as the song has an obvious reggae influence.

 

I don't get why everyone on facebook and myspace say they listen to Ben Harper. I honestly never hear anyone play his music or talk about him. I think they just add him to the list to make themselves look more diverse in their musical taste by adding a blues artist or two.

I never knew they did a cover of that song. Wow. 311 is great though. I almost went to Philly to see them playing at Penn's Landing with the members of Sublime and a few other bands. I never went. :-( Next time they play near me though I will definitely go see them.

Come to think of it, I have noticed that and I haven't heard anything from him in over 5 years or more.

It's like people saying they like all these indie bands to look more artistic.

Okay boys, Sublime and 311 were absolutely not ska bands.  And they weren't good bands either. 

 

 

Here's what I was listening to during the Nine Inch Nails era:

 

Saw those guys once in, you guessed it, Lawrence Kansas in 1996 and again in Atlanta in I think fall 1997. 

 

Also blink and you'll miss me, but I appear in seconds 17 and 18 of this clip, in a white Dublin Cleaners polo, grabbing my remote flash off of a speaker in the back of the stage:

 

I really dislike The Slackers btw, they're totally lame.  No personality.

Thanks for the enlightenment, grandpa!

 

I agree most Ska sucks though. Im sure theres a reason why most people don't listen to it.

Believe it or not it was on MTV a fair amount in the early 90's but it was destroyed by Southern California "ska" bands like No Doubt and Sublime.  Also, when the Mighty Mighty Bosstones sold out it was all over.  That crap paved the way for Blink 182 and the Green Day revival, which along with groups like Limp Bizkit(sp?) destroyed rock music.  It was a horrible time to be alive and watch the Great American Songbook get flushed down the toilet. 

 

Oh yeah. 

 

 

     

 

 

The Pilfers, the only modern band to successfully fuse punk and reggae:

 

 

As for The Slackers: they rule rings around 99% of "ska" bands out there. Absolutely, unequivocally and beyond all shadow of a skank. If you care anything about where ska music came from, you know this to be true.

 

 

This is simply too fun, so I'll post it again:

EDIT:

 

Here's what I was listening to during the Nine Inch Nails era:

 

Hail yeah! This video was filmed during the winter, by the way. Those were some cold-ass ska musicians. My peak of ska-credibility was playing a festival along with the Scofflaws and having someone approach Buford O'Sullivan (their bald T-bonista) for my autograph. Great guys. Ditto the Slackers.

You will think this song is very stupid and ridiculous, but trust me, you will find yourself humming or singing it.  It will only takes days possibly hours, but you will find yourself either singing or humming this song. 

 

Enjoy

Anybody got a recipe for squirrel or cat? Damn squirrel emptied one of my bird feeders again, and the neighbor's cat stakes out the other one. :whip:

 

I guess the cat is doing what cats do naturally. Maybe what I need is a recipe for my neighbor, but I'm trying to stay on a low-fat diet. :x

#91 San Francisco

March 23, 2008 by clander

 

San Francisco is one of the top US destinations for white people in terms of both travel and living. It is universally agreeable and is a safe discussion topic for any situation.

 

The city is considered one of the world’s premiere locations for white person research.

 

White people like to vacation in San Francisco because it has beautiful architecture, fantastic food, and it is near the water. They like to live in San Francisco because of its abundance of Non Profit Organizations, Expensive Sandwiches, Wine, political outlook, and most importantly its diversity.

 

 

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

My 7 year old nephew (AKA nature boy - he wants to be a vegtra-tranarian) and I built several bird feeders in November. 

 

Here is his advice

• Get a circular/spinning bird feeder.
  
• Use a slinky around the pole or the wire.
  
• Put grease or oil on poles & wires to prevent squirrels from climbing.
  
• Put spicy peppers, peppermint, spices (the dollar store brand) in the bird seed along with hot sauce.  The birds can't taste it but the squirrels can and wont come back.
  

 

read this and look at figure D.

http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/hb_bird_watching/article/0,2033,DIY_13872_2276349,00.html

 

You might be able to buy a squirrel dome (I don't think thats the proper name but a hardware store should know what you mean) so the squirrels slide right off the top of your feeder when trying to reach the cylinder.

 

 

I saw this blog as a link from an ESPN blogger a few weeks ago and love it.  It is absolutely hysterical.  Another good one is "Having Gay Friends"....

 

"Gay friends are an essential part of a white person’s all-star diversity roster. But they are always on the lookout for the ultimate friend; a gay minority.

 

It is generally accepted that a gay black friend with a child is considered a once in a lifetime opportunity - like a quarterback who can pass, run, kick, and play linebacker. White people will crawl over each other for the opportunity to claim this person as a friend and add them to their roster of diversity."

So this means if I adopt a child, white folks will come out of the wood work and all-of-a-sudden want to be my friend? without sterotyping me??  No thanks!

 

You folks can have San Fran!  Yuk!!

Thank you David: I've been meaning to spotlight http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/. Brilliant, and about 83% true (Volvos RULE for ghost riding).

I hate when white liberals (dont take offense to that, im fairly liberal) brag about their roster of gay friends or go to gay bars to prove how much they embrace diversity as if that makes them superior. What business does a straight person have going to a gay bar unless they have really good food? This guy I worked with was like that and he ended up moving to San Francisco a month ago. This was the same guy that said Cincinnati will never change because of the conservative "WASPS" that will always run this city. Meanwhile he thinks hes doing the world a favor by moving to probably the most elitist overpriced city in the US :roll:

A lot of straights go to gay bars because there is not judgement and no rules and can be "free" and just dance. 

 

My cousin met his wife at a gay bar. He and three of my cousins went out with me and she was there with her brother.  A lot of straight guys know women with gay friends or brothers/sister are usually "on point".

Um, as someone who spent a LOT of time in her 20s in gay bars, the answer is: it's the only type of bar me and my girlfriends could go to and dance without being harrassed and hit on, and where all the guys were good dancers and would dance with you without wanting anything from you.  One of my best friends throughout my 20s was a lesbian and she REALLY hated going to straight bars for that reason, even more so than my straight girlfriends.

 

That being said, "good food" isn't a reason I went to most bars but I would think I have a right to go to ANY bar no matter what the patronage.  Whether or not I'd feel comfortable in there given the clientele is another matter, but "what business does" someone have seems awfully harsh to me.  Unless it's a private club with paid membership, don't people have every right to go to any bar they want to?

I was refering to men but I should have indicated gender in that sentence. As a straight guy, I rarely feel the need to be free and just dance without the hassel of creepy women.

 

Suppose I go to Adonis in Cincinnati and I'm a decent looking guy. I start dancing, I get hit on by a dude. I tell him I'm straight. I'm sure it wouldn't be followed up by something like "well how straight are you?" *guy thinks hmm I wonder how many beers it would take* I mean hell, my ultimate fantasy is to convert a lesbian, I'd expect the same from the opposite orientation. And I just talked to my gay friend; he said straight guys rarely have any luck at gay bars picking up women. I mean after all, they're going there to escape "men". I would argue they might be a little lesbionic. My friend also said gay bars are HIGHLY judgemental so overall, I don't buy it.

Try it, you might like it.  Besides, a gay bar/club is usually the most popular club/bar in a city, since they are open to anyone.

 

Cleveland's Traxx, u4ria, Two Steps Down, Chaps, The World, Aqualon were all gay bars that were hugely popular with all people, regardless of race, color or sexual orientation.

At what point do all the straight people ruin a gay bar?

What's the point of that website?  White people are categorically lame?  We know we are.  We don't need anyone to remind us.

Anyway, what's the point of that website?  White people are categorically lame?  We know we are.  We don't need anyone to remind us.

 

Interesting how the website views all white people as educated, upper middle class liberals who live in large metro areas.
